"They get four or five primetime games, depending how you spin it. Four at night plus the London game," said CBS Colorado's Romi Bean. "It's clear the Broncos are back. The NFL wants them in primetime."

The Broncos avoid three straight road games this year. They also have a very intriguing first-time matchup late in the season against a player who's very well known in Colorado.

(all times Mountain Time)  

Week 1, Sept. 7, 2:05 p.m.: Broncos vs. Tennessee Titans
Denver faces a lowly Titans team for their first game of the season. The Broncos have struggled in Week 1 games over the past several years, so this is a gift from the NFL schedule gurus. Denver has actually won seven of their last 10 Week 1 home games. Denver's .635 win percentage in season openers all time is tied for best in the NFL. (The game will air on FOX.)

Week 2, Sunday Sept. 14, 2:05 p.m.: Broncos at Indianapolis Colts
After a home game the Broncos travel to the Midwest to face the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium. It's the Broncos first trip to Indianapolis for a regular season game since 2019. (The game will air on CBS.)

Week 3, Sunday Sept. 21, 2:05 p.m.: Broncos at Los Angeles Chargers
A second straight road game awaits the Broncos in Week 3, this time on the West Coast against head coach Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers. It's the first division game of the season for the Broncos. (The game will air on CBS.)

Week 4, Monday, Sept. 29, 6:15 p.m.: Broncos vs. Bengals
The Broncos will play the later game in the first Monday night doubleheader of the NFL season. Quarterback Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals against Bo Nix and the Broncos "will be a great measuring stick" for Denver, Bean says.
(The game will air on ESPN/ABC.)

Week 5, Sunday, Oct. 5, 11 a.m.: Broncos at Philadelphia Eagles
This appears to be the hardest game on the Broncos schedule. They have to travel to the East Coast to face the Super Bowl champions. (The game will air on CBS.)

Week 6, Sunday, Oct. 12 at 7:30 a.m.: Broncos-New York Jets
The Broncos will be playing in London, England, this year at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This will count as an away game for the Broncos. The Jets will be the host team. (The game will air on NFL Network.)

Week 7, Sunday, Oct. 19, 2:05 p.m.: Broncos vs. New York Giants
The Broncos don't get a bye week after their game in England. They'll be right back to business, facing the Giants at home in Week 7. It's possible Russell Wilson will be starting under center for the Giants. (The game will air on CBS.)

Week 8, Sunday, Oct. 26, 2:25 p.m.: Broncos vs. Dallas Cowboys
The Broncos own a 5-2 record against the Cowboys in Denver. (The game will air on CBS.)

Week 9, Sunday, Nov. 2, 11 a.m.: Broncos at Houston Texans
The Broncos travel to Houston for the second time in three years. Denver is 2-1 against Houston in their last three meetings. (The game will air on FOX.)

Week 10, Thursday, Nov. 6, 6:15 p.m.: Broncos vs. Las Vegas Raiders
The Broncos will be playing on Thursday Night Football in another primetime game: against the Raiders at Empower Field at Mile High. (The game will air on Amazon Prime Video.)

The Broncos have won two of their last three meetings against the Chiefs. Both wins have come at home. (The game will air on CBS.)

 Week 12: BYE WEEK

Week 13, Sunday, Nov. 30, 6:20 p.m: Broncos at Washington Commanders
This Sunday Night Football matchup comes after the Broncos bye. It's the first time the Broncos will play a SNF game on the road since the 2021 season. (The game will air on NBC.)

Week 14, Sunday, Dec. 7, 2:05 p.m.: Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders
This marks the Broncos final back-to-back road game of the season and wraps the season series over the Raiders. (The game will air on CBS.)  

Week 15, Sunday, Dec. 14, 2:25 p.m.: Broncos vs. Green Bay Packers
The Broncos hold a 7-1 record against the Packers in games played in Denver. (The game will air on CBS.)

Week 16, Sunday, Dec. 21, 2:05 p.m.: Broncos vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
"This is a game to circle on the calendar," said Bean. That's because first round draft pick and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter will be coming back to Colorado. The former Buffaloes star will be tough to game plan against, considering he's a two-way player. (The game will air on FOX.)
